Specialising in Difficult Space

Lofts, garages, basements and a business built on square metres

The final book in the series is about turning experience with lofts, garages and basements into a business that completes several projects a year reliably. It shows you how to build an appraisal template, a standard specification, a project process, pipeline numbers and a library of lessons learned. You will see which consultants and trades you need, how building control fits in, your legal duty as the client and how to vet and keep good people. The funding chapter explains the finance stack, recycling capital, contingency with a worked example, and the danger of over-trading. Further chapters cover software for appraisal, project tracking, accounting, VAT and the Construction Industry Scheme, document control and cost control, and the technical, insurance, people, tax, planning and reputational risks that grow with you. It ends with where self-teaching stops working and a twelve-month plan. This is the final book in the Basement & Space Conversions series.
